Long-time visitors to this website and frequent net check-ins will remember that the 144.240 net (ONLY the 144.240 net) changes to a later start time every spring and summer. We do this for two reasons: 1) lots of northern guys are out enjoying the long days, and don’t want to be in front of a rig at well before sunset. 2) a later start time takes advantage of a bump in band conditions toward twilight and beyond.
**THE 144.240 NET WILL BE STARTING AT 8PM CENTRAL, OR 0100z, EFFECTIVE APRIL 11TH, 2012.** This should continue until at least early October. Please help us spread the word so we don’t lose anyone. Thanks.

Both our WI net controls start out looking northeast or north (into N WI and the U.P. of MI). We then rotate clockwise a full 360 over the next 60-90 minutes. All are welcome; the net is informal; purpose is to stir up more activity on 2m SSB.
We encourage all V/UHF’ers to call more CQ’s at any time. Especially when we have quiet bands (most of the time). A dead band always needs more CQ’ers. What happens if 50 guys are all in front of their rigs, “just listening”? That’s right — nothing.
